I've just now subscribed to this list, so please stop me if this has been already
discussed... After hearing about the storm coming toward the wikimedia servers. I thought
to myself, wouldn't it be a good idea to have backup servers elsewhere in the world?
Especially since Florida is highly susceptible to this sort of weather this time of
year... I'm not sure if our funding or budget would allow for distribution of our
servers. However, my guess is, there are probably more than one wikipedia people who
wouldn't mind setting up a server of theirs somewhere as a backup. Even if it's
just a no edit cached back-up. Something is better than nothing...
